ADHD at One Acts Theater (October 14-28)

Do you think you have ADHD?

Watch at the One Acts Theater this October and find out!

Philippines’ most prolific writer, Niel de Mesa, is unflaggingly back onstage with a controversial new work entitled ADHD. Fresh from its “Waiting in the Wings” sampling at the CCP Huseng Batute last August, this new visceral play will now be having its official run at the One Acts, Fridays and Saturdays, the whole month of October (October 6,7,13,14,20,21,27,28 at 7:30pm). An appalling albeit accurate testimony of Fidgety Philip, a person diagnosed with ADHD, on our modern addiction to speed and multi-tasking. He then vows to bore the audience to death to prove his point. With exceptional metered rhyme inspired by Seuss and Sondheim (then to the freeverse assonant style of Jason Mraz), the single premise of him walking from point A to point B onstage makes this one-act play feel like forever. ADHD stars Koiné veteran Kenneth Keng, Ren Robles, and newbie, Kelvin Ty.

ADHD runs in tandem with Niel de Mesa’s fresh mathematical comedy, Barya Lang Po sa Umaga. In a waiting terminal, five swaggeringly irate passengers try to coerce a disheveled street-bum to transfer to another jeep. An “eschatological” lesson happens when it is revealed that only the street urchin can break their money so they would be able to crucially get to their respective destinations on time. “Barya Lang Po sa Umaga” stars Philippe Tolentino, Epoy Jerusalem, Papu Alonso, Micki Olaguer, Vanni Liwanag, Belle Castillo, Olive Ranido, Dingdong Novenario, Eric Santos, Darren Bendanillo.
